Key result
Cardio-oncological rehabilitation and physical activity are recommended as fundamental strategies to improve functional capacity and mitigate cardiotoxicity in patients undergoing cancer treatment.
Why the study?
Cancer treatments increase patient survival but also susceptibility to cardiovascular disease and cardiotoxicity, which reduces physical capacity and quality of life.
Does cardio-oncological rehabilitation improve functional capacity and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with cancer?
Does cardio-oncological rehabilitation improve functional capacity and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with cancer?
Cardio-oncological rehabilitation is a fundamental multidisciplinary strategy to improve functional capacity and mitigate cardiovascular risk and cardiotoxicity in cancer survivors.
Cardiotoxicity surveillance in cancer survivors warrants attention; leaves open optimal multimodality strategies for early detection.
Advances in cancer treatment have increased patient survival, as well as susceptibility to cardiovascular disease, not only due to the increase in risk factors but also as a result of the treatment itself.Cardiotoxicity related to antineoplastic drugs is one of the most feared cardiovascular effects during or after chemotherapy treatment, and it is associated with unfavorable prognosis in cancer survivors. Moreover, it reduces physical capacity and quality of life. In this scenario, the multimodal model of cardio-oncological rehabilitation has [...]
